And I think it's just,

We're just supposed to be together.

It's the Lord's will.

And I think sometimes when we lean too much on aesthetics and when we don't lean enough on purpose and assignment, which again, I'm not saying that marriage is primarily used for ministry.

That's not what we're saying because marriage is the first ministry.

Yes.

What I am saying is that there is oftentimes a prematurity and an impatience that sparks on the inside, especially of young adults, that comes through passion and lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life to where people can prematurely get married

Thinking that, oh, because I'm Christian and this person's Christian, it has to work out.

And just because a person is Christian and you have the same belief system doesn't mean that the relationship is always going to be fruitful.

And I think that's our goal always is that no matter what we do, the goal of it is for it to produce fruit, to give God glory.

Yeah.

So it's not necessarily what's the purpose of ministry, but what's the purpose of our marriage?

Yeah.

Because the purpose should be to bear fruit.

Yeah.

And if we're constantly thorning each other out, it's not going to work.

And so not only were we compatible, of course, we were attracted to one another.

Of course, we got along as friends, as best friends, but we were more compatible as leaders and as pastors and leading a generation and sharing a heart that loves people so much and just wants to give people a safe space.

And that, and knowing that we both had

almost the same path was the biggest confirmation.
